Let’s write.

We write an introduction to start a composition.
An introduction is the first paragraph in a composition. It has a thesis statement
which shows what the composition will be about.
Example: During Gawai Dayak, a traditional dance called the ngajat is performed.

We write a conclusion to end the composition.
A conclusion is the last paragraph of a composition. It may start with a phrase
like in conclusion, to sum up or to conclude. It summarises the main idea from
each paragraph or gives an opinion about the topic.
Example: In conclusion, if you have never seen a ngajat dance,visit Sarawak
during Gawai Dayak festival to experience its uniqueness.

The sari is very stylish and unique. It has beautiful sequins and stones. It also
comes in many vibrant colours. Sari is made from materials like silk and cotton.

worn by Indian women. The salwar kameez has a long, embroidered top that
is exclusive to wear for any event. Its pyjama-like trousers, and colourful shawl

it to weddings and festivals because it is an elegant and smart outfit.
